DisplayMode.Edit not working

Posted on by Poseidon10

This is a SharePoint custom list form. I have a button that when clicked is supposed to set certain fields to edit mode, and leave the rest in view mode.

My buttons OnSelect: Set(varMode, "true")

For the fields that need to be editable, I have DisplayMode: if(varMode="true", DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.View)

When I publish and go view the form, I click the button and it looks like the fields changed from view to edit. The field box even appears, however when I click to type something, nothing happens. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks for the help.

Make sure your formula is in the right place. If(varMode, Edit, View) should be in the DisplayMode property of the cards you wish to edit. Leaving the form's Default mode as View, will keep the rest of the cards read only. FYI, there is no need for the "= true" as varMode already reduces to true.

@Drrickryp , yes the formula is in the DisplayMode of the property of the cards. Like I said it seems like it works because when I click the button, the fields do change from view to edit. However when I click in the text box no cursor appears and I cant type anything.

I was able to fixed this. I had set the default of the form to "view" and it was contradicting to the displaymode formula. Thanks.
